Once a rough change for western visitors, Phnom Penh has seriously improved over the past few years. Don’t forget that the country was devastated by the Khmer Rouge. Infrastructure may still lacking in some areas and you’ll find rubbish, potholes and dust in secondary streets as well as beggars and touts. As everywhere in Asia traffic can be risky but it is fairly light compared to busy cities like Bangkok or Ho Chi Minh.

Cambodian food shares many similarities with other Southeast Asian foods, including dishes such as curries, barbeques and fish-based meals, though Khmer cookery is more delicately spiced than other regional cuisines and is rarely spicy hot.

In Cambodia’s capital, Phnom Penh, there are countless good restaurants to satisfy all tastes and budgets. Many of them have unique designs and fascinating decor.
